Anyone using a small mixer + powered PA speaker instead of a regular amp for steel? If so, what equipment?

Not quite that combo, but I am using a QSC K10 I believe that is the number. I am using Brad's Octal preamp to drive it. Lots of power and incredible sound. A lot of folks don't like have a high frequency speaker in their setup but I do and with the treble reasonable low, the high end just sparkles.
Here is an example of what you could expect.

| Scott - For playing at home in my music room, I use a PreSonus Studio 16.0.2 mixer out to a pair of Dynaudio BM5A powered studio monitors. I also use an Octal V8 preamp between the steel and the mixer. Sounds great for home use! |

| Mickey Adams was using QSC 12's at one time. Maybe he will chime in. |

Good responses! Mickey, do you think the 12's handle the sound well, or would the 15's be better, as far as range?

I have done it before, but I don't like the tone of the steel guitar through the tweeters (piezo horns/hi freq drivers etc.)
The high end is too sterile and harsh sounding. I suppose different speakers and eq settings could make it better. But I prefer the sound of a good quality guitar speaker, with a smooth warm sound.
